Isi artikel

Those responsible for teaching learners at schools, universities or technical institutions are very much aware of the fact that their learners will move into the real world and that what they learn before they leave can have a direct effect on their social, educational and career prospects. In this workshop, we will discuss how the shift in language education from a knowledge based to skills/competence based approach has gone a long way to further the process of merging classroom teaching with real-life needs – a trend also gradually being reflected in international exams. We will discuss how these changes have not and should not result in ‘the baby being thrown out with the bath water’: learners still need to be taught the perennial language areas of linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic awareness, but these should be explored and re-enforced in context during both receptive and productive skills practice.Above all, we will be focussing on the practicalities of these issues; how to teach so that learners are aware of them and are sensitive to the connection between language choices and effective communication.
